The organizers will release the route on Dec. 9, but some East Village bars are already rolling out or throwing out the welcome mat, so to speak, with signs, according to EV Grieve. The Continental at 25 Third Ave. loves SantaCon while Barcade at 6 St. Marks Place has put a sign showing they are not allowed, according to the blog.
